The Pederneira Mine, Brazil
Metal: 18Kt Yellow Gold (750)
Product Details
- CRYSTAL/MINERAL
- A remarkable pendant featuring a classic “Watermelon” Tourmaline slice from the renowned Pederneira Mine in Brazil, masterfully mounted in 18Kt gold. The gemstone displays one of nature’s most celebrated colour patterns: a vivid raspberry-pink core surrounded by a pale white transition zone and an outer rim of fresh green Tourmaline. This natural arrangement closely resembles the cross-section of a watermelon, giving the gem its famous name and making each specimen instantly recognisable.
Watermelon Tourmaline forms when the chemistry of a growing crystal changes during its development, causing distinct colour zones to emerge within a single crystal. The result is a naturally occurring masterpiece of concentric colour, with no two slices ever exactly alike. Because the colours develop during crystal growth, specimens with strong contrast and symmetrical zoning are especially prized by collectors and gem enthusiasts.
The Pederneira Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil, is one of the world's most legendary Tourmaline localities. It has produced extraordinary gem crystals renowned for their exceptional colour, transparency, and crystal quality. Material from this mine is highly sought after, particularly when it displays dramatic natural colour zoning such as this specimen.
Combining exceptional provenance, striking natural colouration, and the artistic geometry created by crystal growth, this Brazilian watermelon tourmaline pendant is both a fine jewellrry piece and a collectible mineral treasure. Aan extraordinary example of nature’s ability to create perfect design without human intervention. - metal
